I manage a shared drive that has a space limit threshold. If we go above that threshold then we get charged for use of that space.
I'm able to calculate the projected growth but I can't figure out how to calculate the projected number of months until we would reach that threshold.
Column - Description
A - is the month and day
B - is the current amount of space that is being used
C - percentage of space change from month to month
D - is the max space threshold for the drive
E - how much space is currently available on that drive
F - percentage of space currently available on that drive
G - is the current percentage projected average growth rate for that drive
FORMULA: (1/T)*ln(last/first)
where T= count of data points range
where ln = natural log of the most recent current space entry divided by the first current space entry in the data series
H - projected space based on the previous months data
I - here is my issue. I'm trying to figure out how many months it will take to reach my max threshold in column D. This will be a rolling number that will change from month to month.
*Space is in GB.
I've attached the spreadsheet.
